Opposition cannot stop India from moving forward, says Modi

PM terms protesting parties as 'anti-nationals', slams them for stalling Parliament operations

"On one hand, our country is scoring goal after goal of victory, on the other, some people, due to political self-interests, are doing such things which make it seem that they are scoring 'self-goals'," the prime minister said.

Modi was interacting with beneficiaries of the Centre's food security scheme in Uttar Pradesh through video-conferencing as the state observed the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana Day."They are not concerned about what the country wants, what it is achieving or how it is changing. These people are hurting both the spirit and the time of the country for their selfish reasons. They are continuously insulting Parliament of India for their self interests," he added.

1. While very citizen of the country is working hard to get out of the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced, opposition parties are competing to stop the work of the country's interests, Modi said.
2. Targeting the Opposition, the prime minister said, "The great people of this country cannot become hostage to such selfish and anti-national politics.
3. No matter how much these people try to stop the development of the country, this country is not going to stop.
4. They are engaged in stopping the proceedings of Parliament but 130 crore people are engaged in not allowing them to stop the country."

The sole intention of the opposition parties is to create roadblocks on the path of development, he said, terming their action "anti national". "Bharat chall padha hain (India is on the move)," the PM said as he listed the achievements of his government on various fronts.
